ANGLE CHAIR OR FlTTlN G.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 658,098, date-d September 18, 1900.

Application filed December 27, 1893. Serial No. &94,822. (No model.)

To all whom it may concerm 'Be it known that I, GEORGE A. WEBER, a citizen of 'the United States, residing at Stamford, in the county of Fairfield and Stateof Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Angle Chair or Fitting, of which the following is a speeification.

My invention consists in a rolled angle chair or fitting comprising two parts arranged at right angles and intended for receiving some other part between them at their junction. For convenience one of the parts may be termed a base and the other a flange.

A salient feature of the invention is a rib, head, fillet, or strengthening-piece, which is oblique to both parts, or approxinately so, to form a brace at their juncture, but wholly on the outside, it being of such size as to aflord there all the strength necessary to prevent defiection of the parts at their junction. It may also be used as a means whereby the chair or fitting can be Secured in place.

I Will describe an angle chair or fitting einbodying my invention and then point out the novel features in claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an angle chair or fitting' enbodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a crosssectioual View thereof.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both of the figures.

vided at this point during the formation of the angle, and the process employed for forming the angle is that f rolling. The angle, with its strengtheningrib, is produced in rolls having passes modified so that sufficient metal can be preserved at the meeting-line of the parts out of which the strengthening rib or piece may be formed. v

Referring now to the drawings, 1 represents the base of the angle-chair, and 2 a flange eX- tending upwardly from the base adjacent one edge thereof, but so as to leave a portion 3 projecting beyond it. Y

4 represents the integral strengthening rib, head, or tillet which is formed at the meeting line of the parts of the base and flange. i The o to have it of such proportions as to afford all 6 the strength necessary to prevent deflection of the parts 1 and 2 at their j unction. What I claim as my invention is- 1. A rolled angle or rail chair comprising a base, a fiange extending ,upwardly from said 7o base adjacent one edge thereof, and a strengthening-rib formed at the meeting-line of said base and fiange, said rib being oblique to both parts and forming a continuation. of the outside face of the fiange to the edge of the adjacent end of said base.

2. A rolled angle comprising the following integral parts, a base, a flange projecting up Wardly therefrom adjacent one edge so as to leave a projecting portion of the base, and aso strengthening piece oblique to both parts forming a' brace for the upwardly-extending tlange and integral with the outside face of the flange and the projecting portion.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
